IVC to conduct survey to choose new design for Desert Warriors mascot

IMPERIAL, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - Imperial Valley College (IVC) has announced the launch of a survey for people choose the design for the college's Desert Warriors mascot.

In a press release, the survey showcases three options for people to choose, and is said to be a "step forward in creating a visual identity that embodies the spirit and values" of the college "through a symbol that resonates with all."

IVC says the mascot name was adopted by the Imperial Community College District's (ICCD) Board of Trustees last summer, "following extensive outreach involving a public participation contest in 2022," revealing that the Desert Warriors name was favored over the Desert Fox and Desert Suns.

"This figure is designed to embody a student-centered approach, reflecting our commitment to fostering a campus that's empowering, dynamic, and focused on making a difference. Desert Warriors are champions for every student, reflecting the spirit of doing our best and being true to our values."

Lennor Johnson, Superintendent/President for Imperial Community College District
